Crazy league, I'm 8-4 and in first place. Also have the most pts in the league by 6 pts (guys 7-5) but then there's a huge gap of 70-80 pts for the next highest.

Thing is, there are 7 teams with a record of 7-5 or better! and it's only a 10 team league! I basically need to win 1 of my last 2 games to ensure a playoff spot, even If I lose both it's still possible for me but I'd rather not take that chance

Trade deadline time in my keeper league. I feel like my squad is pretty solid both in the present and moving forward. Looks like I should be finishing 2nd and getting a bye to Week 15. The rebuilding teams are giving me offers for my future pick, though. Separate offers of Andre Johnson and Wes Welker. My starters are all set at other positions (Brees, Charles, Lacy, Graham) and really aren't too bad at receiver, but this is tempting. Andre's playoff matchups are @Indy and vs. Denver. Keenum and the team have gotten pretty bad but he destroys Indy pretty regularly and Denver can also let up some passing numbers.

What it makes my options for Weeks 15/16 are as follows, starting 3 with no ppr

It depends on how much stress you want to take on. Making either of those trades puts you in a spot where you start second guessing EVERYTHING. Playing match ups week to week is fine when you have a few decent guys to choose from but sucks when it's a big pile of studs and you have to bench one (or more) each week.

Of the two, I'd go Andre. Welker has more competition for touches and a week 15 game in Denver that could be bad weather and ruin Manning's ability to throw.

Jackson plays a tough defense but they gave up some long ones this past weekend to Mike Wallace and Jackson as of late has been catching some long passes himself. On the other hand Cooper has had great chemistry with Foles (Whom is one of my QBs) and with Peterson likely on DJax the whole game I figured Cooper could have a solid day. Ughhh I hate these decisions. I need this bye week.

Vincent Jackson @ Carolina
Riley Cooper vs Arizona

Consistent points, go Jackson. If you want the home run chance, go Cooper. Neither match up is very good.

Yes PPR. Is Cutler fully healed? I don't need him going out of the game in the 3rd quarter. And BROWNS BROWNS BROWNS. Don't be fooled by the good matchups the jets have. They are fantasy death.

I meant Miami.. not the Jets.
The guy I'm playing just picked them up too

Pick One:
I know Jordan Cameron has been not getting a lot of passes thrown his way, but he's going against Jacksonville. It's either him or Greg Olsen.
Cameron vs. Jaguars
Olsen vs. Buccaneers

Pick one:
Tom Brady vs. Texans
Tony Romo vs. Raiders

Another Dilemma:
I have Shane Vereen and think he's going to do great against the Texans but my other RBs are Jamaal Charles, Reggie Bush, and Chris Johnson. Should I sit any of those RBs to play Vereen? I'm considering sitting Bush.

I'm an LSU guy it's tough to not start Flynn especially in that system. Y'all don't think they just pound lacy all game?

Lacy had 23 carries for 99 yards against Detroit earlier this year. Minus Barclay at right tackle and Rodgers at quarterback, he will struggle to match that production. My guess: 22 carries, 59 yards rushing and 5 catches for 32 yards. He will have decent production in a PPR format but nothing special.

Please help.

Brown, Boldin, and Boykin for me.

Cameron has his targets back over the last two weeks and definitely has the better match up. I'd be fine starting him.

It's tough to bench Brady when he looks like he's finally heating up, but he has not been consistent at all and Romo has been great all season. I'd have to go Romo in that one. He has a better match up, too.

None worth using the waiver claim. I agree there's no reason to be carrying the extra DST, especially when it's the Texans D.

Grabbing Miller or Johnson as RB depth is a good idea. I'd go Miller simply b/c the Dolphins are still in the hunt and he's the #1.

Cunningham isn't likely to be useful past this week. Edelman is wildly erratic and unreliable. Johnson has awful match ups and is banged up. Hunter . . . no. It really looks like a total crap shoot as to which TEN WR will be useful each week. Austin is looking like a broken down, washed up vet.

Edit: I need convincing to start Vereen over Brown who will get 20 touches/goal line carries against a horrid defense. PPR makes Vereen seem easy but he won't get goaline carries. I also expect the giants to be up most of the game relying on running to drain the clock. I expect the same in the patriots game but with Bolden/Blount running.

I see no reason to play Jordy over either RB. I think you're looking at a toss up with Brown v. Vereen. I think Vereen will get the chance to really carry the load given the fumbles by Ridley and Blount because he's more dynamic than Bolden.

Personally, though, I like what Bolden brings to the table and would like to see him get a full workload.

I think Brown is the safer play and Vereen is the higher upside. Vereen is getting a 100 yard game most weeks, it's just that he's doing the majority of it receiving.
